what size is your 500SM rear rim?
« on: October 05, 2010, 04:02:51 AM »
looking at sm rims, was wondering whether 4.25 or 5.00 is the easiest to get between the relatively narrow swinger.Anyone know if the 5.00 fits? Thanx, K.

I am going old school and using a 3.5 x19 and mounting dirt-track tires.  Building a vintage "superbikers" model.
